Does your Android Phone is not getting recognized on Windows 10? Instead, your phone is only charging whenever you connect with your PC? If you’re facing this issue then you need to try our guide where we have discussed 15 different methods to resolve this particular issue. Read along!

Android telefoni su takvo blaženstvo, jesam li u pravu? To je samo bežična, neumorna, besprijekorna kutija sreće s beskrajnim značajkama. Od slušanja nevjerojatnih pjesama i gledanja fantastičnih videozapisa na mreži ili čak snimanja "savršenog selfija", sve to čini umjesto vas. Ali u trenucima kada je interna memorija puna i SD kartica je zagušena, morate prenijeti te datoteke na svoje računalo. Ali što se događa kada vaš Windows 10 ne priznaje vaš telefon? Srceparajuće^{(Heartbreaking)} , zar ne? Znam.

Obično, kada povežete Android telefon sa sustavom Windows^(Windows) , on će ga potvrditi kao MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) uređaj i nastaviti dalje.

Dijeljenje sadržaja s stolnim i prijenosnim računalima poboljšano je tijekom posljednjih nekoliko godina i iako se to može učiniti bežično, korisnici preferiraju korištenje tradicionalnog kabela jer se prijenos datoteka događa mnogo brže i puno je učinkovitiji, tj. rizik od isključenja.

Međutim, prijenos datoteka možda neće uvijek raditi kako se očekuje. Bilo je mnogo izvješća u kojima se navodi da se android uređaj ne prepoznaje/otkriva na njihovom stolnom računalu ili prijenosnom računalu. Ovo je čest problem među mnogim korisnicima Androida.

Popravite Android telefon koji nije prepoznat u sustavu Windows 10^{(Fix Android Phone Not Recognized On Windows 10)}

Ovo je vrlo česta pritužba brojnih Android korisnika, a mi smo, kao i uvijek, tu da vas izvučemo iz ovog nereda. Evo nekoliko hakova koji će vam pomoći da riješite ovaj problem.

Metoda 1: Promijenite USB priključak i ponovno pokrenite svoje uređaje^{(Method 1: Change the USB port and restart your devices)}

Postoji mala mogućnost da je port na koji je vaš uređaj spojen neispravan. U tom slučaju, prelazak na drugi USB priključak može biti učinkovit. Ako se uređaj pojavi na sustavu čim je spojen, problem je s drugim USB priključkom na koji je uređaj prvi put spojen.

Ako to ne uspije, pokušajte ponovno pokrenuti oba uređaja, tj. svoj Windows 10 i Android uređaj. Ovo bi trebalo dobro funkcionirati.

Metoda 2: Koristite originalni USB kabel

Ponekad greška može biti unutar USB kabela. Problem je prilično teško identificirati samo pregledom kabela izvana, a ako se pokaže da je kabel neispravan, preporuča se nabaviti novi, a ne tražiti probleme s njim. Nabavite novi USB kabel i upotrijebite ga za povezivanje uređaja s računalom. Ako se uređaj pojavi u "File Exploreru", problem je riješen.

Ako nije, onda je to softverski problem i nema nikakve veze s hardverom.

Metoda 3: Pregledajte upravljačke programe za Windows 10^{(Method 3: Inspect Windows 10 drivers)}

Neispravan upravljački program mogao bi biti jedan od razloga za ovaj problem. Također, Windows 10 ne prepoznaje Android telefone koji imaju oštećene ili neispravne upravljačke programe. Danas većina Android uređaja koristi osnovne drajvere za Media Transfer Protocol kako bi osigurala pristup internoj pohrani kao i SD karticama . ^{(SD Cards)}Upravljački program mora biti ažuriran jer inače može stvoriti problem.

Ovo su koraci za ažuriranje upravljačkih programa na Windows 10:

Korak 1^{(Step 1)} : Povežite telefon putem USB-a.

Korak 2:^{(Step 2:)} desnom tipkom miša kliknite izbornik Start^{(Start menu)} i kliknite Upravitelj uređaja^{(Device Manager)} .

Korak 3:^{(Step 3:)} Dodirnite Prikaz^(View) i omogućite opciju Prikaži skrivene uređaje^{(Show Hidden devices)} .

Korak 4: ^{(Step 4:)} Proširite^(Expand) sve prijenosne uređaje, a zatim desnom tipkom miša kliknite vanjsku pohranu^{(External Storage)} i odaberite Ažuriraj upravljački program. ^{(Update Driver. )}

Korak 5:^{(Step 5:)} upravljački program će se automatski početi ažurirati.

Korak 6:^{(Step 6:)}   Sada, pri dnu, vidjet ćete uređaje univerzalne serijske sabirnice^{(Universal Serial Bus)} .

Korak 7:^{(Step 7:)} desnom tipkom miša kliknite ikonu svog Androida^(Android) i odaberite Ažuriraj upravljački program^{(Update Driver)} da biste pokrenuli proces ažuriranja upravljačkog programa.

Ako vaš Android telefon i dalje stvara problem tijekom povezivanja na Windows 10 , samo deinstalirajte sve upravljačke programe i Windows će automatski početi ažurirati upravljačke programe kada se sustav ponovno pokrene. I trebali biste moći  popraviti Android telefon koji nije prepoznat na problemu sa sustavom Windows 10^{(Fix Android Phone Not Recognized On Windows 10 issue)} , ako ne, nastavite sa sljedećom metodom.

Metoda 4: Omogućite USB otklanjanje pogrešaka^{(Method 4: Enable USB Debugging)}

Ponekad omogućavanje USB otklanjanja pogrešaka^(Debugging) može pomoći u rješavanju problema, a mnogi su korisnici izvijestili da je ovaj trik zapravo riješio njihov problem. Iako je to daleko, ali pokušati će se isplatiti. Ovu značajku možete pronaći u Developer Opciji^{(Developer Option)} na svom telefonu i odatle je možete omogućiti. Omogućavanje svih opcija u odjeljku USB Debugging nije potrebno.

Fix Android Phone Not Recognized On Windows 10

Does your Android Phone is not getting recognized on Windows 10? Instead, your phone is only charging whenever you connect with your PC? If you’re facing this issue then you need to try our guide where we have discussed 15 different methods to resolve this particular issue. Read along!

Android phones are such bliss, am I right? It’s just a wireless, tireless, flawless box of happiness with endless features. From listening to amazing songs and watching awesome videos online, or even taking “the perfect selfie”, it does it all for you. But at times when that internal memory is full and the SD card is choked up, you gotta transfer those files to your PC. But what happens when your Windows 10 doesn’t acknowledge your phone? Heartbreaking, right? I know.

Usually, when you connect an Android phone to Windows, it will verify it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and proceed further.

Sharing content with desktops and laptops has been improved upon over the past few years and even though this can be done wirelessly, users prefer the use of a traditional cable as file transfer happens much faster and it is much more effective i.e. there is little to no risk of disconnection.

However, the file transfer might not always work as expected. There have been many reports stating that the android device is not being recognized/detected on their desktop or laptop. This is a common problem among many android users.

Fix Android Phone Not Recognized On Windows 10

This is a very common complaint by numerous Android users and we, as always are here to get you out of this mess. Here are a few hacks that will help you resolve this problem.

Method 1: Change the USB port and restart your devices

There is a slight possibility that the port which your device is connected to is faulty. In this case, switching to a different USB port may be effective. If the device shows up on the system as soon as it is connected, the problem is with the other USB port that the device was first connected to.

Method 2: Use an Original USB Cable

Sometimes, the fault might lie within the USB cable. It is quite hard to identify the problem just by inspecting the cable from the outside and if the cable proves to be faulty it is advised to get a new one rather than looking for problems with it. Get a new USB cable and use it to connect your device to the computer. If the device shows up on “File Explorer”, then the issue is fixed.

If it doesn’t, then it’s a software problem and had nothing to do with the hardware.

Method 3: Inspect Windows 10 drivers

The faulty driver could be one of the reasons for this problem. Also, Windows 10 does not recognize the Android phones, which have corrupted or faulty drivers. Nowadays, most of the Android devices use basic Media Transfer Protocol drivers to ensure the access of both internal as well as SD Cards storage. The driver must be up to date or else they can create a problem.

These are the steps to update drivers on Windows 10:

Step 1: Connect your phone via USB.

Method 7: Connect Phone as a storage device

If your device isn’t showing up on “File Explorer”, the issue may be related to how the device is connected to the system. When connected, the phone provides a couple of options as to what has to be done with the device such as MTP, charging only, PTP, and MIDI, etc. to use the computer as a power source, or use it to transfer media & files, or just use it to transfer photos.

Step 1: Connect in your Phone to your PC.

Step 2: Now, a drop-down list will appear on the screen with many options, amongst which you have to select File Transfer or MTP.

Note: Options will differ from device to device and may have different names for options like Device File Manager or Transfer files.

Method 8: Try Uninstalling Android drivers
